Sao Paulo Climate, Temperature, Average Weather History, Rainfall/ Precipitation, Sunshine

Sao Paulo has what could be described as a modified subtropical to tropical climate, fairly close to the coast but 800 metres or 2600 feet above sea level, that takes a lot of the "sting" out of the tropical heat.
I would rate this climate an A-, fairly equable and free from extremes - it has never had a day above 100F or 37.8C.
Sunshine hours are < 2000, about 1950, and only 3.9 per day in October is quite an anomaly. This is it's only bad point.
Rainfall is very high in the summer months as well, a bit more than needed.

A- for me. I like the fact that it's "almost" tropical and has a record low of -2C which is not bad considering.

Temps. not bad, but too much rain and not enough sun. C.

I like the look of Arequipa, Peru, but don't have enough data. Undoubtedly dry and rather sunny as I like it though, and cool night temps. don't bother me.

I'll give it an A, a touch more sun for me but the temp stats look ideal!

Happy with the temps but disappointing sunshine levels so a C.

C+.

I dislike that the warmest monthly avg low is only 18 C.
Even more, that the warmest average high is only 26 C.

Summers are a C-, but winters are somewhat-warm so I give winter an A-.

Sunshine hours are lowish year-round, knocking it out of B- to C+.

I probably need the "sting" of the tropical heat.

C-

Temperature range is boring, but at least it isn't stifling hot. Low sunshine and high rainfall a plus.

Ditto. I'm quite surprised by the low sunshine totals.

D...I like four seasons and lower humidity...also, the sunshine doesn't seem to be that much...

What winters, Sao Paulo does not have any winters. Atleast not what Europeans and North Americans consider to be winter.
